THE SITE IS STRATEGICALLY PLACED IN THE HEART OF PUTRAJAYA, PRECINT 3. IT IS AN ANCHOR POINT OF
PUTRAJAYA DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE CENTRE OF THE ISLAND. ‘CIVIC AND CULTURAL’ IS THE
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS WHICH PRECINT 3 POTRAYS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF GOVERNMENT OFFICES
WITHIN THE URBAN LAYOUT. EACH URBAN ENTITY HAS DISTINCT ARCHITECTURE CHARACTERISTIC AND CIVIC
AURA. THE SITE IS LOCATED PARCEL 3M4 WHICH IS AT THE END OF PRECINT 3 AREA.

PRECINT 3 HAS A HOMOGENOUS CHARACTERICTIC IN THE CONTEXT OF THE USERS. IT IS CAUSED BY THE ‘HOMOGENOUS’ DEVELOPMENT WHICH CREATES LESS VIBRANT AND NON-LIVELY AREA. THE NEXT DEVELOPMENT
SHOULD BECOME THE SUPPORTIVE URBAN FABRIC AND IT CAN EVEN BE THE MAIN URBAN ENTITY WHICH
BRINGS VIBRANCY INTO PRECINT 3. THE SITE COULD BECOME THE URBAN BACKDROP WHICH FUNTIONALLY
CONNECTED WITH THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT. THE DISTINCT CHARACTERICTICS EXIST IN PRECINT 3 NEED
TO BE MAINTAINED WITHOUT NEGLECTING CONTINUITY THROUGH OUT THE URBAN FABRIC.

THE CONCEPT WAS TAKEN FROM THE IDEA OF CHILDREN’S WOODEN BLOCKS GAMES OR ALSO KNOWN AS JENGO, OTHER GAMES
WHICH HAS THE SAME CONCEPT IS UNO STACKO. THE CONCEPT IS ABOUT INTERLOCKING IMAGES OF COMPONENTS. HOWEVER IT
CREATES A SIMPLE GEOMETRY SHAPE OF RECTANGLE. THE HOUSING UNITS CONFIGURATION ARE VARIES IN ORDER TO CREATES
HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF OPTIONS FOR THE BUYERS. IN ORDER TO MAXIMISE THE USAGE OF SPACE IN THE HOUSING BLOCK, THE

INITIALLY DEVELOPED FOR USE IN PUBLIC ART INSTALLATIONS, LIGHTBLOCKS ARE HIGH-STRENGTH, INTEGRALCOLOR ACRYLIC AND POLYCARBONATE PANELS WHICH CAN BE USED IN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR APPLICATIONS.
LIGHTBLOCKS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO WITHSTAND IMPACTS APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES GREATER THAN LAMINATED SAFETY GLASS AND HAVE SIX TIMES GREATER IMPACT RESISTANCE THAN ORDINARY GLASS. MOREOVER,
LIGHTBLOCKS ARE 50% LIGHTER THAN GLASS. LIGHTBLOCKS ARE AVAILABLE IN UNLIMITED TRANSLUCENT OR
OPAQUE COLORS, AND HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO WITHSTAND WEATHER AND SUN EXPOSURE FOR LONG
PERIODS WITHOUT ANY DETECTABLE DETERIORATION. THE MATERIAL CAN BE MOLDED, CURVED, SLUMPED, CUT,
DRILLED, AND CARVED, AND SURFACES CAN BE SMOOTH, TEXTURED, GLOSSY OR MATTE.

THE DOOR IS PRODUCED AND DESIGNED BY A COMPANY NAMED TRE
PIÙ . IT IS A LEADING COMPANY IN THE
DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF TOP
QUALITY DOORS, SUPPORTED BY THE
CONTINUOUS CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE CONTRIBUTION OF RENOWNED
NAMES IN ARCHITECTURE AND INDUSTRIAL DESIGN. THE TRE PIÙ DOOR IS
KNOWN FOR ITS HIGHLY ARCHITECTURAL QUALITY AND FORMAL ABILITY
TO RE-DESIGN A SPACE. THE TRE PIÙ
DOOR HAS BEEN CONCEIVED AND DESIGNED TO BECOME AN OBJECT WHOSE
DISTINCTIVE AND ORIGINAL QUALITIES
ENHANCE INTERIOR DESIGN.THE DOOR

DISCOVERED IN 1914 IN SWEDEN : ADDING ALUMINUM POWDER +CEMENT, LIME, WATER,AND FINELY GROUND SAND CAUSED THE
MIXTURE TO EXPAND DRAMATICALLY. “FOAMED” CONCRETE ARE TO BE HARDENED IN A MOLD, AND THEN CURED IT IN A PRESSURIZED
STEAM CHAMBER--AN AUTOCLAVE. AUTOCLAVED AERATED CONCRETE (AAC, ALSO CALLED AUTOCLAVED CELLULAR CONCRETE--ACC) IS
PRODUCED BY ABOUT 200 PLANTS IN 35 COUNTRIES AND IS USED EXTENSIVELY IN RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL,
AND INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS. AT A DENSITY OF ROUGHLY ONE-FIFTH THAT OF CONVENTIONAL CONCRETE AND A COMPRESSIVE
STRENGTH OF ABOUT ONE-TENTH, AAC IS USED IN PARTITION AND CURTAIN WALLS. THE MATERIAL IS ALSO FAIRLY FRIABLE AND MUST
BE PROTECTED FROM WEATHER WITH STUCCO OR SIDING. ON THE POSITIVE SIDE, IT INSULATES MUCH BETTER THAN CONCRETE AND HAS
VERY GOOD SOUND ABSORBING CHARACTERISTICS.

BALCONY DESIGN
THE SYMBOLIC ADAPTATION OF THE SITE GEOMETRY IS APPLIED TO THE BALCONY DESIGN. SINCE THE HOUSING TYPOLOGY UNITS WERE DESIGNBASED ON THE SQUARE GRID, THIS INJECTION OF DIFFERENT GEOMETRY FOR THE HOUSING
UNIT WILL FURTHER ENHANCE THE UNIQUNESS AND AESTHETIC VALUE OF THE HOUSE AND ALSO THE WHOLE BUILDING
FORM. IT ALSO BRINGS THE LOCAL LANGUAGE OF ARCHITECTURE INTO THE RESIDENTIAL DESIGN.

THE SOLARWALL SYSTEM IS BASED ON A METAL (ALUMINUM OR STEEL) CLADDING THAT IS INSTALLED ON THE WEST AND EAST-FACING WALL OF A BUILDING. THE SYSTEM OPERATES IN A VERY
SIMPLE MANNER USING ECONOMICAL AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-BENIGN SOLAR ENERGY TO CREATE ELECTRICITY. AT NIGHT, A SOLARWALL ACTS TO REDUCE BUILDING HEAT LOSS. SOLARWALL
PROVIDES SUMMER COOLING BY PREVENTING SOLAR RADIATION FROM STRIKING THE EAST AND WEST WALL OF A BUILDING. WARM AIR BETWEEN THE SOLARWALL AND THE BUILDING RISES
AND IS VENTILATED THROUGH THE CLADDING. THIS REDUCES COOLING LOADS IN THE BUILDING. FRESH VENTILATION AIR IS DRAWN DIRECTLY INTO THE BUILDING VIA BYPASS DAMPERS.
SOLARWALL HAS AN OPERATING EFFICIENCY OF UP TO 75% (RATED BY BOTH THE CANADIAN AND US GOVERNMENTS). THE COST OF A SOLARWALL SOLAR HEATING SYSTEM IN NEW CONSTRUCTION IS USUALLY LESS THAN THE COST OF A BRICK WALL OR EVEN A METAL-CLAD WALL.

SOLAR PV TECHNOLOGIES : AS GLOBAL WARMING ACCELERATES AND OUR ENERGY DEMANDS CONTINUE TO RISE, WE HAVE TO ADOPT CLEANER, MORE SUSTAINABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY. SOLAR
PV GENERATES ELECTRICITY DIRECTLY FROM LIGHT, WHATEVER THE WEATHER. IF EVERY SUITABLE ROOF HAD PV, WE COULD GENERATE 10,000 TIMES MORE ENERGY THAN THE WORLD CURRENTLY
USES. ALL PV CELLS HAVE AT LEAST TWO LAYERS OF SUCH SEMICONDUCTORS: ONE THAT IS POSITIVELY CHARGED AND ONE THAT IS NEGATIVELY CHARGED. WHEN LIGHT SHINES ON THE SEMICONDUCTOR, THE ELECTRIC FIELD ACROSS THE JUNCTION BETWEEN THESE TWO LAYERS CAUSES ELECTRICITY TO FLOW - THE GREATER THE INTENSITY OF THE LIGHT, THE GREATER THE FLOW OF
ELECTRICITY.

TWINS RESIDENTIAL IS AN INTERPRETATION OF IMAGINARY AXES
HIDDEN WITHIN THE URBAN STRETCH OF PRECINT 3, PUTRAJAYA.
A SIMPLE CONTINUATION OF AXES CONNECTING ALL THE MINOR
AXES SPINE TO CREATE BALANCE BETWEEN EXISTING ARCHITECTURE AND SURROUNDING. THE CONTINUATION OF AXES GROWS
ALONG THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROGRAMMES AND NEEDS IN
ORDER TO STAND WITH DISTINCT PERSONAL IMAGE WITHOUT
NEGLECTING THE EXISTING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SITE. THE
CONCEPT OF BLENDING WITHOUT REPEATING HAPPENS WITH THE
GUIDANCE OF THE AXES AS ELEMANTARY MEANS OF ORGANIZING
THE SPACES AND FORM. TWINS RESIDENTIAL BECOMES THE URBAN
